My journey with photography began in Kansas City, where I first picked up a camera over a decade ago and discovered the power a single image has to hold emotion, preserve stories, and freeze time. In 2024, life led me to Spring, Texas, where I followed both my family and my dream — to create a photography experience rooted in love, connection, and authentic storytelling.

Photography became deeply personal for me when my daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer called renal medullary carcinoma. In that season, time felt fragile, precious, and fleeting. The moments we captured together — her laughter, her strength, her courage — became more than photographs. They became lifelines, reminders of love, and treasures no words could ever replace.

With more than 10 years of experience behind the camera, I don’t just take pictures — I preserve memories. From sleepy newborn yawns to milestone giggles and heartfelt family embraces, I believe every moment deserves to be held onto forever.

PDJ Photography is not just about creating beautiful images. It’s about creating meaningful keepsakes that remind you of what matters most, even in life’s hardest seasons. I understand, firsthand, just how powerful and important these memories truly are.
